The Long Battle

So it's been a while since I've made a blog. We've been so busy with the holiday season, but most inportantly with Joe's illness. Last night Joe was admitted to the hospital. He started chemo treatment a week ago and has had a rough time of it. Yesterday he did get out of the house for a little bit but ended up starting to vomit all of his fluids up last night. The Dr decided to admit him. He is down to 132 lbs, which means he's lost about 10 lbs in this last week. His white cell counts are down as well. I've been researching some alternative treatments to chemo including Protocel and HBO (Hydrobaric Oxygen) treatment. Mark is giving his Dr the info on Protocel today and hopefully we can get him started on that soon. We may also have an opportunity to get him to see a Dr in Iowa City that specializes in alternative medicine, if we can get him out of the hospital and well enough to travel. Keep the prayers coming.
